Surin to Bangkok Van Charter with Driver from ฿7,000

A private van with driver from Surin back to Bangkok costs ฿7,000 per trip for a Toyota Commuter and ฿13,000 per trip for a Toyota Alphard. That is the charter price per vehicle one way, not per person, and it covers the driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water on board. The fare table distance is 428 km and the drive takes about 6 to 7 hours including rest stops, depending on the pickup point and traffic. The road home runs west on Route 226 through Buriram to Nakhon Ratchasima, then joins the Friendship Highway through Saraburi into Bangkok. We pick up at hotels and guesthouses in Surin town, at Surin railway station and at any other address in the town district. We drop at any home, condo or hotel in Bangkok, or at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports for the same price. If you are catching a flight, send the flight number and departure time so we can work out when to leave Surin and still leave room for check-in. On travel day you tap the button to say you are at the pickup point on your trip page, the driver comes to where you are standing and confirms with your 4-digit pickup code. A 50% deposit confirms the van and the balance is paid on the travel day. Book on LINE @kingtocar or call 084-709-3719.

Stops & places to visit

6 · Stops & places to visit
City

Tha Sawang Silk Village

A weaving village known for traditional gold-brocade silk, about 10 km from Surin town, so you can watch the looms and buy a length of silk before setting off. Check the weaving group's opening hours before you go.

Surin Elephant Festival (November)

Surin Elephant Festival (November)

The annual festival in Surin town with elephant parades and shows, held in November. If you are heading back to Bangkok during it, hotels and town traffic are busier than usual. Check the festival dates before planning.

Prasat Sikhoraphum

Prasat Sikhoraphum

A five-tower Khmer brick sanctuary with a finely carved lintel, about 35 km east of Surin town — the opposite side from the road to Bangkok, so allow about an extra hour and a half if you want to see it. Check the admission fee and opening hours before you go.

City

Ban Ta Klang Elephant Village

A learning centre about elephants and the Kuy people in Tha Tum district, about 60 km north of Surin town and not on the road home, so allow about two and a half extra hours. Check the admission fee and show times before you go.

Buriram

Buriram

The first sizeable city on the way home, about 85 km from Surin on Route 226, with restaurants, coffee shops and large petrol stations, and almost no detour — a good place to stretch your legs early in the drive.

Nakhon Ratchasima

Nakhon Ratchasima

A large city on the Friendship Highway about 190 km from Surin, with malls and restaurants close to the road — the usual mid-route break before the last stretch through Saraburi into Bangkok.

Why book this route with us

084-709-3719

The way back costs the same ฿7,000

A Toyota Commuter is ฿7,000 per trip and a Toyota Alphard ฿13,000 per trip. That is the charter price per vehicle, including driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water. The return into Bangkok uses the same fare table as the outbound leg from Bangkok to Surin.

Pickup at your hotel door in Surin

The driver waits outside your hotel or guesthouse at the agreed time and your bags go straight in, instead of hauling them to the bus terminal or waiting for a train on someone else's timetable. If your place is down a narrow lane, send a Google Maps pin when you book.

We can meet you at Surin railway station

If you came up on the northeastern line and would rather drive back, we can meet you in front of Surin railway station. Tell us the scheduled arrival time when you book and allow about half an hour in case the train runs late. A wait much longer than that is charged as waiting time, which the team prices before you confirm.

Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang for the same price

We drop at the departures terminal of either airport for the same fare as a home or hotel in Bangkok. Send your flight number and departure time when you book and we will work out the departure time from Surin, allowing for the 428 km and for check-in.

Stop in Buriram or Nakhon Ratchasima on the way

Both cities sit right on Route 226 and the Friendship Highway, so a meal, a toilet break or a souvenir stop costs almost no detour. Mention it when you book so the driver can allow the time. For several stops or a long wait we will quote the hourly charter instead so you can compare before confirming.

A van sized for your group and luggage

The Toyota Commuter has 9–13 seats and suits larger groups, plenty of bags and boxes of souvenirs. The Toyota Alphard has 6–7 reclining captain seats, which is more comfortable over 428 km and suits families travelling with older relatives.

Travel tips for this route

  1. The 428 km drive takes about 6 to 7 hours including rest stops, so leave Surin before 10am if you have an appointment or an evening flight in Bangkok.
  2. For a connection at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang, send the flight number and departure time when you book; we set the pickup time with room for the distance, city traffic and your check-in.
  3. If you arrived in Surin by train and want to drive back, give us the scheduled arrival time when you book and allow about half an hour, as the northeastern line can run late.
  4. Sunday evenings and the end of long weekends are heavier coming into Bangkok between Saraburi and Rangsit; allow 1 to 2 extra hours or leave Surin earlier in the day.
  5. Travelling with lots of souvenirs such as silk or a sack of jasmine rice? Tell us the number of bags and boxes when you book so we can confirm there is room.
  6. With small children, give every child's age when you book: under 4 needs a child seat, 4 to 12 a booster, and each rents at ฿300 per booking.
  7. To add a Khmer sanctuary or the elephant village before heading home, say so before booking, because both sit off the road back, need extra time and are quoted as an hourly charter; an overnight adds ฿500 per night for the driver's room.
  8. Book early if you travel during the Surin Elephant Festival in November or over Songkran and New Year, as vans leaving the northeast for Bangkok fill up fast.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much is a private van from Surin to Bangkok?

A Toyota Commuter is ฿7,000 per trip and a Toyota Alphard ฿13,000 per trip. That is the charter price per vehicle one way, not per person, and it covers the driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water.

How far is Bangkok from Surin and how long does the drive take?

The fare table distance is 428 km and the drive takes about 6 to 7 hours including rest stops, depending on the pickup point and traffic. The road runs west on Route 226 through Buriram to Nakhon Ratchasima, then along the Friendship Highway through Saraburi, and the end of a long weekend can take longer.

Where can you pick us up in Surin?

The fare covers one pickup point inside the Mueang Surin district: your hotel or guesthouse, Surin railway station, the bus terminal or another address there. Send a map pin for the place when you book so the driver finds it. For a pickup outside the district, or a second pickup point, send the details when you book and the team will confirm the fare first.

Can you drop us at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airport?

Yes, at the departures terminal of either airport, for the same ฿7,000 per vehicle as a home, condo or hotel in Bangkok. Send your flight time when you book so the departure time from Surin allows for the distance, the traffic and your check-in.

What is included in the fare and what is charged separately?

Included: the whole vehicle with driver, fuel, expressway tolls and bottled water on board. Charged separately: meals, accommodation, admission fees, a child seat or booster at ฿300 each per booking, and any stop or waiting time not agreed when you booked, which the team prices for you before you confirm.

Should we take the Commuter or the Alphard for the drive back?

Take the Commuter at ฿7,000 if you are 7 or more, or if you have a lot of bags and souvenirs: it seats up to 9 with 8 large bags, or 12 with 3 bags. Take the Alphard at ฿13,000 if you are 6 or fewer and want the reclining captain seats, which are easier on a long drive and suit older travellers.

Is the way back the same price as Bangkok to Surin?

Yes. Both directions come from the same fare table: ฿7,000 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿13,000 for a Toyota Alphard per vehicle, one way. You can book the two legs together or separately; if you book both, send the dates and times for each and we will confirm the combined total before you pay.

We arrived in Surin by train — can you meet us at the station?

Yes. We can meet you in front of Surin railway station. Give us the scheduled arrival time when you book and allow about half an hour, as the northeastern line can run late. If the train is much later than planned, message the driver from the chat on your trip page; a long wait is charged as waiting time, quoted by the team before you confirm.

How do we book the van back to Bangkok, and what deposit is needed?

The deposit is 50% of the fare, with the balance paid on the travel day. To book, send your date and time, the pickup address in Surin, your destination in Bangkok, the number of passengers and the number of bags on LINE @kingtocar or call 084-709-3719. The team then creates the booking and sends you the booking number and the booking page on our website. Cancel at least 3 days before travel for a full refund of the deposit.

Can we stop on the way back to Bangkok?

Yes. Places on the road such as Buriram, Nakhon Ratchasima and Pak Chong are short stops with almost no detour; mention them when you book so the driver can allow the time. Prasat Sikhoraphum and Ban Ta Klang sit off the road home and need extra time. For several stops or a long wait, the team will quote the hourly charter so you can compare before confirming.
